Shredded Beef Enchiladas

Next up at my Cinco de Mayo fiesta, is one of my absolute favorites…..Shredded Beef Enchiladas! This is one of those meals that comes together easily, if you plan in advance, and after you have made them half a dozen times!

These are the kind of Shredded Beef Enchiladas that blow the ones at your local Mexican Restaurant away! I have served them at several Cinco de Mayo parties in the past, and they are always a hit. Am I bragging? Yes, but I want you to make these. They really are worth the effort. 😉

Start by heating 1/4 inch of oil in a frying pan. Cook corn tortillas one at a time, turning once just until limp and blistered…..

You just need them to be pliable, not crispy like a taco shell. Drain on paper towels…..

but I said that already. I went easy on the sauce, because it was the first time that I had made it…and I was afraid it might be too spicy. The sauce was perfect, so I poured more on the next day while I was enjoying my leftovers…..

Directions

Heat a 1/4 inch of oil in a small frying pan over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, cook each tortilla just until limp and slightly blistered, turning once. (About 10 seconds per side.) Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread 1 cup of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 10 by 15 inch baking dish, set aside.

Roll a 1/4 cup of shredded beef in each tortilla. Place seam side down in the prepared pan.

LOL, sorry about that Seana. 😉 Sometimes I say something is really easy to prepare, and realize later that the reason it is so easy for me is because I have done it so many times before. The first time can be a bit awkward, but it really does get easier each time!

Wouldn’t that be so much fun if we could do that!! I think I am just so anal about getting them out in one piece, that they don’t dare break apart! The enchiladas know that I will blow a gasket if they don’t come out correctly, LOL 😉 You just made my night by the way, I am busting up laughing just trying to picture you battling a pan of enchiladas!

I think these enchiladas look to die for, and I’m pinning! I need a great enchilada recipe and this looks like it. I think the foodblogger group on FB sounds great, so I joined. I’m tired of those FB antics as well. 🙂

No, I couldn’t find one in town and the shipping was pretty high because they are so heavy. I need to drive down to Iowa City and see if I can find one in the kitchen store down there. I am still dying to make them! 🙂
